The abdominopelvic is composed of the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity. This cavity contains the organs such as liver, stomach, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, kidney and most of the intestines along with the internal reproductive organs and urinary tract. The navel is located in the umbilical region of the abdominopelvic cavity.
Hence, the blank can be filled with 'umbilical region'.
Answer:
Answer Below
Explanation:
There are both natural and human sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Natural sources include decomposition, ocean release and respiration. Human sources come from activities like cement production, deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas.
Answer:
1. Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the motor end plate
2. Ligand-gated channels open leading to depolarization
3. End plate potential triggers an action potential
4. Transverse tubules convey action potentials into the interior of the muscle fiber
5. Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
6. Calcium ions bind to troponin, which then moves tropomyosin
Explanation:
Acetylcholine (ACh) is a signaling molecule (neurotransmitter) that binds to receptors on muscle cells. This binding triggers the opening of ligand-gated sodium channels, thereby ions enter into muscle cells, which causes the depolarization of the sarcolemma and thus promotes the release of Ca2+ ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The myoneural junction, also known as the motor endplate, is the site of synaptic contact between a motor axon and a skeletal muscle fiber. The endplate potential is the voltage that produces the depolarization of muscle fibers when ACh molecules bind to their receptors in the cell membrane. This depolarization spreads in the sarcolemma through transverse tubules (T tubules) and thus generates an action potential. Finally, this action potential induces the release of Ca2+ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which activates troponin protein and induces muscle contraction.
Answer:
The rate of photosynthesis increases the intensity of light or concentration of CO2 increases, however, at a certain temperature, the rate can decrease due to enzyme denaturation.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a unique metabolic process specific to only some organisms. The photosynthetic process, however, cannot occur without some vital ingredients including light, Carbon dioxide (CO2) and optimum temperature.
An increase in the concentration of light (from sun) and CO2 (from atmosphere) increases the rate at which photosynthesis occurs i.e. more light, CO2 results in more photosynthetic process. However, an increase in TEMPERATURE also increases the photosynthetic rate but at a particular temperature, the enzymes that bring about the photosynthetic process can be denatured or damaged, hence, at an EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE, photosynthesis can be inhibited.
